Of course, in language arts there is some argument that we should address all of the reading anchors, though this does not actually hold true. As the curriculum and some common sense reviewing of the anchors would show, there are eligible content that clearly aren't connected to the content of English classes. Nevertheless, you will see that many of the anchors are covered throughout the curriculum. This spreadsheet shows which eligible content is covered where and when.
Teacher pages and wikis
Teacher Wikis Check out some of these teacher wikis which run the gamet in terms of subject matter and see if you can find a project or use for wikis that you think might be beneficial. Please add a description of anything that you elect to include so other users can quickly determine whether or not it is something they should click on. Blogs and other pages This page includes an array of blogs and other pages that are separated by subject. Look through and post anything that seems useful or interesting for your department here. Again, please include a description to ensure that others know what they are looking at and looking for when they click.
Smart Ideas
